"Mobile Phone Sensing is the Next Big Thing!"
Andrew Campbell (Dartmouth College, USA)
Mobile phone based sensing applications will transform our lives.
Everyday smartphones with an array of built in sensors, computation,
storage and communications are enabling a new frontier in mobile
computing research. Today, smartphones represent 15% of the global
mobile phone market. Today's expensive smartphone will be tomorrow's
cheap, ubiquitous phone. The fact that these app phones are open and
programmable and can deliver new ideas and software to potentially
100s of 1000s of people in the blink of an eye, represents an exciting
opportunity for the research community to make major advances across
many areas such as social networks, healthcare, transportation and
environmental monitoring. Sensing is people- centric, enabling a
different way to sense, learn, visualize, and share information about
ourselves, friends, communities using every mobile phones. Ultimately,
we can envision societal scale sensing enabling breakthroughs in new
areas such as personal, community and population-guided well-being. In
this talk, we will discuss how to advance this vision.

"Challenges of Opportunities"
Jon Crowcroft (University of Cambridge, UK)
Opportunities can be useful both for building Ad Hoc and delay tolerant
networks for data, but also they can be mined for information about
mobility and social structures. However, to do either of these, users
need to be pursuaded to share resources, either at the information
level, which impacts privacy, or at the communications level, which
impacts their own network performance. This talk is about these
challenges, and some ideas on how we might overcome them.
